The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an exogenous emulsifier on performance and carcass traits of broiler. The exogenous emulsifier (sodium strearoyl-2-lactylate) was added 0.05% to the 3 levels reduction (0.70, 1.00 and 1.30 %) rice bran oil from control diets. The results showed that body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, survival rate, productive index and feed cost/kg BW (FCG) were similar to the added emulsifier and control fed groups for 3 periods of testing (1-21, 22-35 and 36-42d of age). However, over period of 1-42 d of age, birds fed with exogenous emulsifier 0.05% to 0.07% reduction rice bran oil from control diets showed improvement and better (P<0.05) FCR and showed higher (P<0.05) than no added... |
